=== Film === * In 1919, two silent short comedy films, "Making Good with Mother" and "Cutting Out Venus", were released in the US. These shorts were inspired by the [[Reggie Pepper]] stories and directed by [[Lawrence C. Windom]]. Reggie Pepper, a prototype for Bertie Wooster, was given a manservant named "Jeeves" who was a reformed burglar. The shorts featured [[Lawrence Grossmith]] as Reggie Pepper and [[Charles Coleman (actor)|Charles Coleman]] as Jeeves.<ref>Taves (2006), pp. 16 and 150.</ref> * ''[[Thank You, Jeeves!]]'' (1936) was the first film to feature Jeeves and Bertie, with [[Arthur Treacher]] as Jeeves and [[David Niven]] as Bertie Wooster. In the film, they meet a girl and help her brother stop two spies trying to get his secret plans. The film has almost nothing to do with the book of that title, and Jeeves is portrayed as unhelpful and pompous. ''[[Step Lively, Jeeves!]]'' (1937) also featured [[Arthur Treacher]] as Jeeves, who is swindled into pursuing a phony inheritance. Bertie Wooster does not appear, Jeeves is portrayed as a naive bumbler, and the film has nothing to do with any Wodehouse story. Wodehouse was very unhappy with the two Treacher films and did not encourage continuation of the series.<ref>Taves (2006), pp. 74β81.</ref> * ''[[By Jeeves]]'' (2001) is a recorded performance of the musical, released as a video with British actor [[Martin Jarvis (actor)|Martin Jarvis]] as Jeeves and American actor John Scherer as Bertie Wooster.
